French Teaching Resources. Object Pronouns and Verbs.

I use these English - French matching cards to practise the word order of object pronouns in relation to the verb.

Examples of expressions:

Le secrétaire les leur a envoyés

The secretary sent them to them.

Ils m’y ont vu.

They saw me there.

Je vous en enverrai

I will send you some.

You may choose to have different levels of challenge. For example,
Level 1 = match the cards and discuss the pronunciation.

Level 2 = match the cards , discuss the pronunciation and then have quick fire questions from French to English, whereby 1 student closes their eyes and their partner reads out the French cards which the student must translate into English from memory.

Level 3 = As Level 2 but the quick fire questions are from English to French.

Following checking there are 2 fun games to play, either pelmenism or a game I learnt in Japan called Karuta. In Karuta the students put the English language cards to one side and spread out the French cards in front of them. I then say the English and the students compete to touch the correct French card first. Whoever touches it first wins the card. The student with the most cards at the end of the game wins. The students love this game!
